Exegesis
The explicit subject hemeis hoi dynatoi {ἡμεῖς οἱ δυνατοί | hēmêis hoí dynatoí} ‘we the strong’ singles out a subgroup within the community, underscoring their particular responsibility.
In context — Romans 15:1
But we who are strong are obligated to bear the weaknesses of those who are weak, and not to please ourselves.
